This book gives me so much anxiety even so I already knew the whole storyline. I see now why I put it down for ten-ish years.聽

This book is very different from anything else I've ever read - and anything I've heard of, both in style and subject matter. It's enthralling to follow Eddie Spinola as both his achievements and his troubles rack up over the course of the story.

Arranc贸 bien, y el final abierto me gust贸 pero en el medio la enred贸 con cosas que no ten铆an ni pies ni cabeza y que quedaron muy en el aire. La idea genial, pero la ejecuci贸n no tanto. Y por dios, el traductor me volvi贸 loca con tantos "a la postre"; chab贸n, podes poner "al fin" o "finalmente". Just sayin

Book was better than the movie but I already knew what was going to happen because I had already seen the movie before I read the book.

I remember seeing the previews for the movie and thinking it was a fascinating concept, so figured I'd read the book before deciding whether or not to watch the film. I wasn't expecting it to be the page turner it was, which left me staying up much too late to finish the novel (and wishing I had my own brain stimulating meds to keep me alert the following day! :-)).

I prefer the movie that's based on this book (Limitless with Bradley Cooper).
